Have you ever thought about the possibility of creating the plan of your own house with your computer and your mobile phone ? This is something that a few years ago was absolutely unthinkable, but the great advances that have occurred in the field of technology allow it to be something totally feasible today, and much simpler than you think.
The first step is to measure your home
As much as technology has advanced, the need to take different measures to be able to make the plan of our house is something that we can never avoid. The good news is that there are a few applications, which are based on augmented reality technology , to allow you to take measurements quite quickly, and using only the camera of your mobile phone.
These applications are not perfect and the measurements they achieve are far from accurate, but we believe they are good enough for you to make a basic plan of your house, if it is not a professional project. Of course, keep in mind that these applications require that the area you want to measure is well lit.
In case you need to make a plan of your house for something serious, we fear that you will have to follow the traditional method of using a tape measure to take measurements of each of the areas of your home.
Google Measurement is an Android application that you can use to take approximate measurements of your home. IOS users can turn to the Measurements app.
Both applications have been designed to be as simple to use as possible, so that you only have to focus with the mobile camera on the object or area you want to measure.
Use an application to create the plan of your house
Once you have taken all the measurements you need, it is time to take the next step in the process of creating the plan of your house using your computer. The Internet offers us many applications that can be used to create house plans , most of them being free.
Many of these applications have been developed by renovation companies or furniture stores, with the intention that you can see how their products or services are, before opting for them.
Homebyme
Homebyme seems to us to be one of the easiest applications of this type to use, in addition to the fact that its interface is completely in Spanish so you don't have any problems. Another very interesting feature is that it works directly through the web browser, so you won't have to install anything.
Ikea Home Planner
Ikea Home Planner is an application for Windows and Mac that you can use to create a plan of your house. The furniture giant has created this service so that users can check how the different products they sell in their stores look like.
EasyHome Homestyler
EasyHome Homestyler works in a very similar way to Homebyme, having the advantage that you will not need to create an account to start using this service. The main drawback is that its interface is not in Spanish, but can only be used in English, French, Italian and Chinese.
Room Sketcher
Room Sketcher is the last application that we propose to create plans of your house without having to pay a single euro. It is a very simple application to use that has been inspired by the construction mode of The Sims , one of the most popular video games.
